U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken visited China from April 24 to 26, and the visit will focus on key issues of concern to both countries. On April 22, the Chinese Foreign Ministry welcomed Blinken's visit to China, and at the same time, China clearly drew four red lines for Blinken's visit, that is, the United States must not touch China's red lines on Taiwan, democracy and human rights, road system, development rights and other issues. Since the beginning of the 21st century, the U.S.-China relationship has become the most important and complex relationship in the world, so it is necessary for the two sides to maintain close communication.
China does not want to become an adversary of the United States, and has never taken this as the keynote to look at the issue between the two countries; China is following an independent development path, and the United States should also have a clear understanding of this: Is China a partner in cooperation or a rival in competition? How will the United States plan to deal with competition and cooperation? The important point that the United States needs to bear in mind is that there can be no differences between China and the United States, and differences will always exist, whether in the past, at present, or in the future, how to manage differences is the most important thing, and for this reason, the United States should keep pace with the times, abandon those outdated Cold War views, and look at the problem from the perspective of development and progress.
In recent years, the United States has also made a big fuss about the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea, seriously interfering in China's internal affairs. China and the United States have different national conditions and people's livelihoods, and cannot generalize. In addition, the United States should be more pragmatic when communicating with China, to ensure that the plan discussed by the two sides is practical, rather than saying one thing and doing another, the Biden administration has repeatedly emphasized its position of not supporting Taiwan independence, but in fact, the United States has sent a series of American officials, including Pelosi, to visit Taiwan in recent years, which seriously violates the "Three Sino-US Joint Communiques" and violates the commitments made by the previous Biden administration. The United States has also generalized the concept of national security, imposing a large number of sanctions on Chinese individuals or companies on the grounds of events such as the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
Earlier, the U.S. government also released an unbelievable report, saying that China directly supports the production of the drug fentanyl, and to a certain extent, endangers the health and safety of the American people, and China is very concerned about this. On April 23, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said that China is the most resolute and strict country in the world in the fight against drugs, and China has the confidence and ability to do a good job in drug control.
It is undeniable that since the meeting between the heads of state of China and the United States in San Francisco last year, Sino-US relations have eased to a certain extent, and the frequency of communication has increased significantly. At present, the United States is about to usher in a new round of elections, and the results of the election are also closely related to Sino-US relations.
Biden's advantage lies in his long-term political experience and connections, and the implementation of "political correctness" has also helped him a lot, since Biden came to power, there have been a large number of politically correct initiatives, such as promoting "transgender recognition", etc., and Trump has played a good hand about immigration, although the construction of the US-Mexico border wall was regarded as a stupid move, but compared to Biden's overly relaxed immigration policy, Trump still has an absolute advantage in this regard. However, no matter who succeeds in re-electing the US president, Sino-US relations will not be relaxed much for the foreseeable future, and the businessman-turned-Trump is unusually paranoid about the economic competition between China and the United States.
The Biden administration is more concerned about the comprehensive confrontation between China and the United States, and China's attitude has not changed, China is following an independent and win-win development path, and China sincerely hopes that more countries, including the United States, can take this as their purpose, and all countries should respect the free choice of other countries and promote the common prosperity of the global family.
